Weirdcore visual system, translated from the Claude Artisan catalog for use in digital products. Low-quality nostalgic photos, distorted; Deliberately 'off', eerie, uncanny

- **Category:** niche
- **Era:** 2020–present
- **Origin:** Unsettling amateur-photo internet aesthetic.
- **Reference:** Weirdcore image boards.
- **Structural base:** hero, superfície, conteúdo e grade responsiva

**Defining traits:**
- Low-quality nostalgic photos, distorted
- Deliberately 'off', eerie, uncanny
- Text overlays, arrows, dream-logic
- Nostalgic dread

## Colors

- **bg** — #d8d3c4
- **surface** — #eae5d6

## Typography

- Display: 'Impact', 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif
- Body: 'Times New Roman', 'Georgia', serif
- Mono: 'Courier New', monospace

## Layout

- hero, superfície, conteúdo e grade responsiva
- Use a responsive grid and preserve content hierarchy.
- Collapse columns below 768px without horizontal overflow.

## Elevation & Depth

- Low-quality nostalgic photos, distorted; Deliberately 'off', eerie, uncanny; Text overlays, arrows, dream-logic; Nostalgic dread; sombras e elevação

## Shapes

- Radius scale: 2px, 2px, 2px.

## Components

- Buttons keep visible focus and predictable hover/pressed states.
- Cards use the surface and radius scale from the tokens.
- Forms expose persistent labels, textual errors, and keyboard focus.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do: follow the tokens and the structural composition.
- Do: maintain WCAG AA contrast and `prefers-reduced-motion`.
- Avoid: using the style as decoration without functional hierarchy.
